Comprehensive Facilities Assessment

Current Buildings Condition Assessments

In March 2009, the Library requested proposals to provide a Facilities Master Plan which would serve as a guide for future renovations, additions, replacements or reconfigurations within the system. In May 2009 Bostwick Design Partnership was commissioned to carry out this Master Plan.

Cuyahoga County Public Library recognizes that as our public face in the community, each branch should reflect the same level of quality as the services provided. While achieving system-wide excellence, there exists a quality disparity among individual facilities, stemming from the history and complexities of branch development in each community. This Facilities Master Plan quantifies these differences, to aid future decisions about the size, location, design and function of library branches so that over time, all facilities may equitably and effectively serve their communities.

The plan was presented to our Library Board of Trustees on December 15, 2009. The facility assessment for each branch is available below:
